Someone said the other day that this site is not a rumours site and he didn't want it to go that way. I agree. I haven't been on Nikonians for about a year but when I last viewed it the rumours were rife about different lenses/cameras. Hopefully this site won't go that way.

Gosh, so glum.

Nothing quite like a bit of rumour and prophecy to brighten up dreary Sunday.

Quote from the owner of this site, Michael Reichmann, (September 2012).

Medium format backs and cameras used to be where one went for ultimate image quality, especially for high pixel count and wide dynamic range. But the 36 Megapixel Nikon D800 and D800e have thrown that equation into a cocked hat, and now there are rumours of a 46 Megapixel Canon later this year or early next (these rumours are likely true).

Only you can answer that. The consequences of starting a rumour is that it usually multiplies out of proportion with a mixture of stirring, half truths or outright fibs. You may have had the best of intentions in mind but rumours being rumours they are rarely truthful.

You are becoming a little bit obtuse now? Look at your first post and you will see the beginnings of a rumour? I think you should move on from this discussion. Others have mentioned the word rumour. I do not wish for this to get out of hand. My initial post was about this site not becoming a place for rumours.

Very obviously Canon could make a 46 MP camera by just upscaling the D7 sensor. I don't know why they don't.

Sony, who makes the sensor for the D800 has not released used the 36 MP sensor in the Alpha 99, for untold reasons. I guess that it has things to do with thermal noise, video capability and things like that.
